Türkiye’s leading naval company, STM, has unveiled its Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) design for the first time at the ongoing LIMA. Speaking at the event, STM General Manager Özgür Güleryüz emphasized that STM is Türkiye’s largest naval solution partner and has been building modern naval platforms for the navies of Portugal, Ukraine, Pakistan, and Malaysia. He also highlighted that STM has started the construction of three corvettes for the Royal Malaysian Navy under the LMS Batch-2 project in Türkiye last year.
“Our engineering capabilities enable us to create innovative platforms that pave the way for new collaborations. For the first time, we are introducing our Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) at LIMA in Malaysia, specifically designed to meet the operational requirements of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). The MRSS is an innovative platform that provides versatile solutions for modern naval operations.”
The MRSS, uniquely designed by STM engineers, is designed to support amphibious operations by transporting armored units. The vessel will also serve as a logistical support and evacuation/hospital ship during crises.
The MRSS will be able to efficiently carry out both amphibious operations and logistical support missions. It can transport up to 14 main battle tanks, 9 armored amphibious vehicles, 500 amphibious personnel, and two 15-ton helicopters, making it highly effective in amphibious landing operations.
“Moreover, the MRSS is not only designed for military purposes but also plays a critical role in humanitarian aid missions. From evacuation and medical support as a hospital ship to helicopter operations and search and rescue missions, it enhances naval operational capabilities. We have developed a cost-effective and efficient design for long-term missions at sea,” said Güleryüz.
The MRSS is an amphibious assault vessel with an overall length of 153 m, breadth of 24 m and displacement of 9700 tons. It has an endurance of 30 days and a maximum speed of more than 18 knots. Range at a speed of 14 knots is quoted at 8000+ NM. The vessel can accommodate a crew of 150 personnel + 500 troops. It can also carry 2 x Landing Craft Utility (LCU) and its 800 m2 Tank Deck can accommodate 14 x Main Battle Tanks, 9 x Assault Amphibious Vehicles. It can also carry 2 helicopters in the 15 tonne category, 2 x 10-m RHIBs with A-Type Davits. The vessel can tank up with 630 tonne of fuel and it can also carry 215 tonne of freshwater. Weapon systems comprise of 1 x 76 mm Main Gun, 4 x 12.7 mm Remote Controlled Stabilized Weapon System and 2 x Chaff/IR Decoy Launchers
